Myxomatous degeneration of cardiac valves.
A refmpective study of ten patients with myxomatous degeneration of cardiac valves revealed two patients with "floppy valve syndromen and eight patients with isolated myxomatous change of apparently diverse etiology. The myxomatous degeneration can be seen in a minor degree in normal valves and to a greater extent in clinical and experimental diseases of unknown etiology. The dBicnlties encormt...
متن کاملDifferentiating the aging of the mitral valve from human and canine myxomatous degeneration.
During the course of both canine and human aging, the mitral valve remodels in generally predictable ways. The connection between these aging changes and the morbidity and mortality that accompany pathologic conditions has not been made clear. By exploring work that has investigated the specific valvular changes in both age and disease, with respect to the cells and the extracellular matrix fou...
متن کاملSildenafil improves heart rate variability in dogs with asymptomatic myxomatous mitral valve degeneration
Myxomatous mitral valve degeneration (MMVD) causes an imbalance of sympathovagal activity resulted in poor cardiac outcomes. Phosphodiesterase-5 inhibitors have been revealed cardioprotective effect in patients with heart diseases. This study aimed to 1) compare the heart rate variability (HRV) between asymptomatic MMVD and healthy dogs and 2) assess long-term effects of sildenafil and enalapri...
متن کاملMitral valve repair. Quadrangular resection of the posterior leaflet in patients with myxomatous degeneration.
OBJECTIVE To analyze the immediate and late results of mitral valve repair with quadrangular resection of the posterior leaflet without the use of a prosthetic ring annuloplasty. METHODS Using this technique, 118 patients with mitral valve prolapse who underwent mitral repair from January '84 through December '96 were studied. Age ranged from 30 to 86 (mean = 59.1 +/- 11.8) years and 62.7% we...
متن کاملDistinct Mitral Valve Proteomic Profiles in Rheumatic Heart Disease and Myxomatous Degeneration
Rheumatic heart disease (RHD) affects heart-valve tissue and is the most serious consequence of group A Streptococcus infection. Myxomatous degeneration (MXD) is the most frequent valvopathy in the western world. In the present work, key protein expression alterations in the heart-valve tissue of RHD and MXD patients were identified and characterized, with controls from cadaveric organ donors. ...
